    A bit of detective work shows he's got a full sized pic of the frame on his flickr account.

    Still don't know what it is!

    no other parts got skimped on, but your right, the front mech doesn't mater, the hone mech isnt even new just one i had, no one looks at it or see its, weight doesnt matter and it hasnt missed a shift yet.

    should be built up by early next week......:)
